Dear all,

March is #WomensHistoryMonth and a famous opportunity to double your (continuous) efforts in attracting more young women to science subjects and to promote your female colleagues !

The German Max-Planck-Society launches its new, well-funded, tenure track program, the "Lise Meitner Excellence Program", aimed at recruiting more female scientists (all disciplines). The deadline for applications is 18 April 2018. More info

A concern for everybody all along the year!

Best regards,
Martina
